I see this everywhere. Hidden or transparent monochrome American black flags on large trucks or 4-Runners. Usually speeding or driving aggressively on the highway.
I found this:
The black and white American flag originated during the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865. It was created as an opposing symbol to the white flag, which symbolizes surrender. Confederate army soldiers flew the black flag to demonstrate they would not give in or surrender to the enemy. It showed that they would rather be killed than taken in as prisoner.

My question is for the people doing this. What message are you trying to send?

Are you ex military showing support for your country? I ask because at least for me, the message is unclear.
So? A lot of tradesmen pull in good money. Hell, a good electrician can make 6 figures if they work a lot. And a GC, they make gobs of money.

Have you seen constryction workers? Or driven past a site? Half of them roll up in clapped out toyota corrollas, and some roll up in 100k trucks.
I’ve seen the beat-up Toyotas. haven’t seen any 100k trucks except, sometimes, one that’s not actually being used for work. all shiny because it belongs to the big boss who doesn’t lift a finger because he sits in an office all day. they’re all for show.
